Tulare, CA – Ninety employees in California’s Central Valley are expected to be affected by a temporary closure at a Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream facility in Tulare, according to a newly reported WARN notice.
According to a California WARN notice cited Tuesday by WhatLayoff, Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream plans to temporarily close its Tulare facility, with 90 employees affected by the shutdown.
The temporary closure is scheduled to continue through Sunday, Nov. 22, 2026 , according to the information provided.
The notice adds Tulare to the list of California communities facing temporary employment disruptions this fall. However, the filing is described as a temporary closure rather than a permanent shutdown of the facility.
The information shared Tuesday did not specify which positions or departments will be affected, whether all 90 employees will remain off the job for the entire closure period or what prompted the temporary shutdown.
No additional details were provided regarding whether employees will receive pay, benefits or other assistance while the facility is temporarily closed.
WARN notices are generally intended to provide workers and government agencies with advance notification of certain significant layoffs or facility closures. The circumstances and duration of each employment action can vary depending on the filing.
The reported Nov. 22 end date falls just days before Thanksgiving, potentially making the timing particularly important for affected employees and their families.
The notice does not indicate that the Tulare operation is closing permanently. It also does not provide details about whether production will resume immediately after Nov. 22 or whether workers could return on a staggered schedule.
Employees affected by the action are expected to receive additional information directly from Dreyer’s regarding schedules, benefits and return to work plans.
